Panic of no common order was evident in Ice House. Street yesterday when it was learned that DR. AXEL AUFGANG, Scientist and Savant of international re- pute, intends to take a part in the financial setivity of local share broking. Up and down, their bowler hats forgotten in this new crisis, anxious men were running Bull or a Bear" said a pro- to and fro. Will he be # minent local broker to me, his hande quivering with ex- citement. "That's what we want to know!
I'll lay a hundred dollars to a zinc horse trough that he will be a monkey" said Mr. Shifty Loynes with * great horse-laugh.
I myself interviewed the subject. He was reticent about his exact intentions, but explained very full his reasons for undertaking a work whose objects are... more material than those at which he has formerly tried his hand.

"I shall buy shares at a low price and shall sell them when they have risen to a higher price. On the other hand shares which are al- ready at a high price, I shall sell, and then, when they have sunk | to a lower price, I shall buy them back again. The whole thing is so absurdly simple. I wonder no- body has thought of it before."
Although it must be admitted that Dr. Aufgang's former inroads into the world of commerce and sport have not been successful, this fallure has perhaps been due to his difficulty in adapting his
facture of bovril? It may mean difference between victory the and defeat.”
A Major lolloped into the tent. "Our troops involved on twenty seven different fronts.
